Dug Oil Lamp Parts ... anybody like old lamp parts?

I have always enjoyed finding these, but they always have ended up in a box, Yesterday, I took some out and made a display case for them. Not as spectacular as some finds are, but I love the history they represent.

That is a very nice display. I have taken a few and have made yard flowers by taking old copper wire as a stem. Then wire on a few old do-dad's for leaves. Some of the pieces in nice shape with the makers mark can be worth a little money. It's pretty cool to think about all the light they shed and who held them and for what purpose.

As a matter of fact I just dug my first one the other day
